Petroleum drilling mud Barite or Barium Sulfate from inorganic minerals in various industries including petroleum and petrochemical industries such as deep excavations oil and gas will be used and the differences in this matter, it is heavy compared to other non-metallic minerals. Iran as one of countries in the world has reserves of barite suitable mineralization because of its proximity to countries that have an abundance of oil reserves, a good market in the region that Iran has produced 350 tons of barite in the world were among the largest producers.
The biggest Consumer countries of Barite consume about 9 million tons per year, respectively are the USA, China and the countries around the Persian Gulf.
Barite types include:
– Barite
– Crystal
– Hunk
– Barite powder
MPCI supplies the type used in drilling mud
Iran has a comparative advantage in terms of location rather than other countries in the region and the demand for barite of Iran in the region is growing and barite powder exports have been rising in recent years.
Barite or barium sulfate are industrial minerals, a specific gravity of about 3.4 to 6.4 specific gravity so high that it makes it easy to identify. The name of this mineral from the Greek word «Barys» was meant to be heavy. Barite in normal mode, but may be white to light gray colors, blue, brown, or black and has a pearl luster to glass. But it is seen as drawn sample of barite business orthorhombic crystals as seed, crystalline masses or twins prepared.
Pure high levels barite is formed by barium oxide and rarely found in pure form in nature. The mineral phosphorescence and fluorescence properties and crystal structure is broken by heat. Normally, other mineral barite as a heat streak with silver ores, lead, copper, cobalt, manganese, antimony and also with calcite veins in limestone or clays overlying the remaining mass of lime stones and sandstones in the copper ores found, and sometimes also deposited from hot springs.
Barite is a clean mineral, relatively soft, ineffective and quite cheap with a specific gravity greater than 4 grams per cubic centimeter deep wells in the drilling mud used in rotation method can comprise 40% of the ingredients. This application encompasses 95% of barite. Barite is a mineral considered vital oil and gas drilling industry. According to 1980 statistics, about 90% of world production of barite in the drilling mud is used as barite, due to the high specific gravity, ease of use on the job, being chemically inert, flexibility and suitability in terms of price, in mud is used. About 429 tons of barite consumption per kilometer of drilling has been reported. These minerals to cool and lubricate the drill boring, casing the well, dig into the ground and control the transport of abnormal pressures within the oil and gas wells are used. Significantly increases the density of the mud and the sand is floating.
The highest consumption of barite is for drilling mud. Because of having high density, medium hardness, chemically neutral, ease of transport, of the factors that makes use of the barite as mud. Barite drilling mud constitute about 40% of the flowers mixture of water, clay and barite, which is based on differences in local conditions, reservoir and drilling mud will be different proportions of the ingredients. The goal must be specific gravity of 7.2.
There are two main type of drilling mud that include,
- Fluids with water (WBMS)
- Fluids with Oil (OBMS)
In addition, the fluid with several compounds (SBMS). There is also the use of which in some cases has been reported. Choose any of these fluids depends on geological formations in the well drilled, pressure, low temperature and depth of the well pit. In general, the goal of the drill pipe and pumped down through wells bit to the floor and poured through the space between the pipe and the well wall climb.
MPCI Company is going to provide these products for large drilling companies in the Middle East, and has a project to provide high-purity barium petroleum sulfate on its agenda and requested by the UAE company to benefit from the mining of this product in Africa, in cooperation with the UAE’s private investment company is about to take license to work in the field.
MPCI Company has the ability to supply high purity Sulfate Petroleum Barium.
This company has access to natural mineral mines in the African continent that global consumers and enthusiasts to invest in the exploitation of this natural material with the collaboration of MPCI Co. can reach access to a great source of this material.
